Fixed bug #80 Date: 21 Apr 2003 17:20:20 +0100 From: Alan Swanson <swanson@uklinux.net> Subject: [SDL] New XFree 4.3 Video Mode Patch If you look at the unsorted list of modes returned by X, here's mine; 1280 x 1024 @ 85.0 > 1024 x 768 @ 100.3 > USER 800 x 600 @ 125.5 > SET 640 x 480 @ 124.9 > 1280 x 1024 @ 75.0 ] 1280 x 1024 @ 60.0 ] 1280 x 960 @ 85.0 ] X11 1280 x 960 @ 60.0 ] AUTO 1152 x 864 @ 75.0 ]=20 1152 x 768 @ 54.8 ] 960 x 720 @ 120.0 ] ... 640 x 400 @ 85.1 ] 256k 576 x 432 @ 150.0 ] 249k PIXEL 640 x 350 @ 85.1 ] 224k COUNT 576 x 384 @ 109.6 ] 221k ... The user set modes come first followed by X set modes which are ordered by decreasing number of pixels and refresh. The reason why every other library or program not using SDL working is due to SDL scanning the modes in reverse getting X11 provided modes modes with the lowest refresh.

The latest development version of SDL is available via Subversion.
Subversion allows you to get up-to-the-minute fixes and enhancements;
as a developer works on a source tree, you can use svn to mirror that
source tree instead of waiting for an official release. Please look
at the Subversion website ( http://subversion.tigris.org/ ) for more
information on using svn, where you can also download software for
MacOS, Windows, and Unix systems.

  svn checkout svn://libsdl.org/trunk/SDL

If you are building SDL with an IDE, you will need to copy the file
include/SDL_config.h.default to include/SDL_config.h before building.

If you are building SDL via configure, you will need to run autogen.sh
before running configure.
